The students were tasked with describing what they saw on worksheets assigned by their teachers.
For many California Elementary School students, Monday's solar spectacle eclipsed anything they had ever seen before.
Sunny skies allowed for optimal viewing of the partial solar eclipse, which briefly darkened the skies as area students and others gazed at the sun through protective glasses.
